Yes are leaving on the CruiseToTheEdge ship today. CarlPalmers ELP exp.,Zebra, GlassHammer, and UK wBozzio are some of the other bands. But the band that will blow the doors off will be SteveHackett's GenesisRevisited show. Especially if they are playing Supper'sReady, The MusicalBox, ChamberOf32Doors and ReturnOfTheGiantHogweed, which I am hoping they do. Steve's band really kicks ass! I'll be at the SoCal show as soon as they get back on dry land.

_________________This is the exciting part. This is like The Supremes, see the way it builds up...

I am a big Relayer fan. Although it is easy to understand people's reserve about it. I have a funny tale about this album. When I first bought the CD, back in 1993 I listened to the intro for Sound Chaser for the first time... And then I took it back to the store, told the seller the CD was "scratched" (as we say), he put it for 30 s and agreed with me, changed the CD copy. Till this day I don't know if the CD was indeed fucked up or if it was only the weird music in it

Looking forward their May 2013 gigs in Brazil

Cheers I hadn't listened to that for years, you have triggered a mini Yes revival

My fav Yes album, though, must be Close to the Edge (click the pic below), by far...

I'll try and aim my jokes lower, so they don't go over your head. Thanx for the info, little bro'. Yes is an English band. Not that there's anything wrong with that. They just sound so squeaky clean, like a Canadian meadow after a snowfall.

I've read about this actually. I think they used a mobile studio to record the album, but it had such a shitty setup. I've got the 90's cd as well and if you listen with headphones, you can hear all this distortion / fuzz pushed to one side of the stereo.

I bought Relayer in 1975 when I was 14 years old. I must have listened to it a million times since then (on CD in the meantime). To this day the album sounds as fresh to me like on the first day. IMO Yes really peaked with that album and they could have stopped afterwards. If I had to make a choice, Relayer would be my one and only favourite album of all time.

never followed the band much after yessongs; recently watched the yessongs dvd, sound is about the same quality as on the record, but only a few tracks are from the album, the rest are from the rainbow shows

no info on the album tracks, and very little out there in the yes fan data base; mainly speculation, a few confirmed tracks from one or more london shows, nothing like the zappa resources available ... there must be tapes out there or the yes mob aren't nearly as retentive as the fz posse

Wow! Forgotten Yesterdays is back online?! It's been given a new makeover too.

Thanks for the link!

You know, if you want to see what the site used to look like, there's an archive link out there somewhere...

Since everyone else is rating Yes' career, my take on them is that Yessongs is probably the best live album I've ever heard. And overall, Yes absolutely KILLED IT from 1971-1980. But since then, it's been spotty...

Of Yes albums or all music albums?

Of all albums, if I really had to make a choice. But fortunately I don't have to make a choice.

No. YES is not my favourite band.

For a change I'm 100% with you here.
